The Work in Czechia website clearly and simply explains how to find a job in the Czech Republic. Expats who have found a second home in the heart of Europe also share their personal experiences.
“I thought I would spend 3-5 years in the country before moving to somewhere else or even back to my native United States. That simply did not happen. The life that I found, the safety, healthcare, and business opportunities kept growing and getting better year after year. In many statistics and rankings my adopted home outranks many western European countries, as well as the US,” says American expat Blake Wittman about working and living in the Czech Republic.
As one of the countries with the lowest unemployment rates in the European Union, the Czech Republic is in need of qualified professionals, and the CzechInvest portal can serve as a useful first guide. Visitors will find a step-by-step overview of how to get a job in the Czech Republic, as well as detailed advice for applicants who do not have direct access to the Czech labour market — namely citizens of countries outside the EU and the European Economic Area.
Job seekers can learn whether their qualifications are in demand in the Czech Republic. While the country welcomes key scientific researchers and highly qualified professionals from all so-called third countries, the programme for qualified employees in manufacturing, services, and the public sector applies only to selected countries.
In addition to the American quoted above, people from France, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, North Macedonia, and many other countries also share their experiences of working in the Czech Republic.
